Our business has been promoting vacation rentals on the Cape and Islands since 1997.

If your focus is on learning the pitfalls and how to avoid them - or at least how to get fired up about the possibility - then I would recommend ignoring those issues and reading this book.I don't necessarily want to practice everything he preaches - boarding up windows and using 2x4's for legs on a kitchen island... but overall, this is a very practical set of recommendations to providing solid affordable housing to a demographic that can be difficult - recognizing those difficulties this author has come up with a number of strategies to reduce problems and focus on profit, while meeting all section 8 program requirements. 

These suburbs includes NJ, CT, Westchester and Long Island.

@Ross GalloLike some of the others who commented, I'm on the Florida Panhandle (Fort Walton/Okaloosa Island), so I can't speak specifically for your area.

The kitchen features large quartz waterfall island, upgraded appliances, soft close cabinets and a wine fridge.

We've bought a small place in Sicily to let to tourists, and are in the process of buying another in a different part of the island.

This is for a flip property.Initially we thought we will use the same granite (pattern - Ruby Sapphire) for both cabinets counter top and for the island.

My focus will be the QC area (Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, & Davenport) I would like to work exclusively with investors.

It’s going to be a section 8 rental in Suffolk County Long Island.

Destin is somewhat overpriced in way of property costs vs rental income, but I think Fort Walton/Okaloosa Island and also Navarre/Gulf Breeze are really good areas to consider.The main thing I would like to add is that managing vacation rentals is different from long-term, passive-income rentals.
